You choose from one of the industry’s largest color palettes including 30 handcrafted finish options, five powder coat finishes, and two specialty finishes. Our artisans are masters in hand-forging, hand-casting, hand-painting, and hand-finishing techniques. They take great pride in consistently delivering drapery hardware products that achieve the highest industry standards.

Meticulous management of detail is an integral component of operations at ADR.

This standard of excellence drives our reputation and inspires us to strive for persistent improvement.

Craftsmanship is something we care deeply about. Behind each rod cut to size, casted finial, polished hardware, or antiqued finish is someone who takes pride in their work.
